(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. Fish Doreen swims leisurely upstream oblivious to danger: a fisherman dangling his hook and Great Blue Heron looking for dinner. Even when the fisherman catches her, and later when the heron snaps her up, she remains blissfully, naively unconcerned, seeing only positives ("I'M FLYING!"). Bright illustrations and the narrator's urgent warnings ("Oh dear, Doreen. No. Not Flying. FALLING.") make this an enjoyable read-aloud.
